Unreferenced date December 2009 Chromosome jumping is a tool of molecular biology that is used in the physical genome project mapping of genome s. It is related to several other tools used for the same purpose, including chromosome walking . Chromosome jumping is used to bypass regions difficult to cloning clone , such as those containing repetitive DNA , that cannot be easily mapped by chromosome walking, and is useful in moving along a chromosome rapidly in search of a particular gene . In chromosome jumping, the DNA of interest is identified, cut into fragments with restriction enzyme s, and circularised the beginning and end of each fragment are joined together to form a circular loop . From a known DNA sequence sequence a primer molecular biology primer is designed to DNA sequencing sequence across the circularised junction. This primer is used to jump 100 base pair kb 300 kb intervals a sequence 100 kb away would have come near the known sequence on circularisation. Thus, sequences not reachable by chromosome walking can be sequenced. Chromosome walking can be used from the new jump position in either direction to look for gene like sequences, or additional jumps can be used to progress further along the chromosome.

Several chromosome regions have been defined by convenience in order to talk about gene locations. Most important is the distinction between chromosome region p and chromosome region q . These are Virtuality virtual regions that exist in all chromosome s. During cell division , the molecules that compose chromosomes DNA and protein s suffer a condensation process called the chromatin condensation , and forms a compact and small complex called a chromatid. In diploid organisms, sister chromatids are attached to each other by the centromere . The centromere divides each chromosome into two regions the smaller one, which is the p region, and the bigger one, the q region. Usually, as a convention, the p region is represented in the upper part of an image while the q region is in the bottom part. At either end of a chromosome is a telomere , a cap of DNA that protects the rest of the chromosome from damage. The areas of the p and q regions close to the telomeres are the subtelomere s, or subtelomeric regions. The areas closer to the centromere are the pericentronomic regions.

Dicentric chromosomes form when two chromosome segments from different chromosomes or from the two chromatids of a single one , each with a centromere, fuse end to end, with loss of their acentric fragments. Dicentrics, despite their two centromeres, may be mitotically stable if one of the two centromeres is inactivated, or if the two centromeres always coordinate their movement to one or the other pole during anaphase.
